Former Israeli Prime Minister Yair Golan and former Prime Minister Ehud Barak have harshly criticized Israeli opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu over recent Syrian attacks. Golan condemned the move as "provocative and dangerous" and warned that it deepens the rift between Israel and its allies, potentially leading to a confrontation with Turkey.
He argued that Netanyahu's actions demonstrate his extremism and unreliability, undermining trust and making it difficult to build a stable regional strategy.

He argued that Turkey is no strategic threat to Israel that cannot be resolved through discreet contacts and coordination with the United States.
Both Golan and Barak emphasized that Netanyahu's actions prioritize political survival over Israel's security, distancing him from the country's best interests.
